Do you ever try to create a tousled look, or add texture to your hair? I do! I always fail miserably though! So, when Aveda sent me their texture tonic, I was excited to give it a try!
Aveda’s Texture Tonic is a great tool for adding texture, without adding build-up to your hair. One of my pet peeves is using a hairstyling product which leaves residue, build-up and a greasy film. What I love about Aveda, is that their products leave none of this behind; and Aveda Texture Tonic is no exception. It leaves my hair lightweight, and clean. Love!
I don’t do a big beach hair look when I go for a little volume. I use Aveda Texture Tonic lightly to give my waves a little extra bounce, and definition. I really love the result!
If you are looking for volume, without bulk, you can find Aveda Texture Tonic online here.
It’s here! The Chanel holiday 2017 nail polish collection has arrived; and it’s not what you think it is! Were you dreaming of metallic sparkles, cherry reds, and cool winter blues? Yeah, so was I! Chanel threw us for a loop this time! Instead of feeding into holiday season expectations, Chanel took a leap off the holidays 2017 bandwagon and gave us a neon red hue, a deep, mysterious green, and a sinister black. Oh yeah, the holidays are on!
Chanel Holiday 2017 nail polish collection:
As with all Chanel nail polishes, the holidays 2017 nail polish collection is long lasting, chip resistant, and applies evenly. I used one base coat, and two coats of color to test out each polish. I did not use a top coat. They stayed true to their Chanel roots and offered chip resistant, non-streaky color which lasts and last! Love them!
Without further ado, here are Chanel Scenrior, Chanel Fiction, and Chanel Celebrity from the Chanel holiday 2017 nail polish collection:
Chanel holiday 2017 nail polish collection: Chanel Scenario
Chanel Scenario nail polish from the holiday 2017 nail polish collection is also a limited edition hue from Chanel’s new neon brights collection. This is a neon red hue, with a matte finish. I was actually surprised to see this color in Chanel’s nail polish collection for the 2017 holidays. It is extremely bright; and not your traditional holiday red hue. It has a resort/summer feel to it; making it a great color option if you plan to go somewhere warm and exotic for the holiday season. I’m not sure I will wear it too often during the holidays. This is a color I will save for a beach getaway, or resort style trip. It is a great vacation option!
Chanel was thinking ahead when they made Chanel Scenario a matte nail polish. Despite it’s bright, neon nature, the matte finish makes Chanel Scenario easy to wear, and less flashy, then you would think a neon polish would look like on one’s nails. This is a winner for a bright neon nail polish! Love it!
Chanel holiday 2017 nail polish collection: Chanel Fiction
How fabulous is this deep, dark green! Although it is reminiscent of Chanel Vert Obscur from the fall 2015 season, Chanel Fiction nail polish for the holiday 2017 season is slightly darker; more mysterious. This is a great color one would expect during the fall season; and not think of for the holidays. Since it is green, it flows nicely from the fall season into the holiday season; although it is an unexpected shade of green for the festive holiday season.
Although it is deep, dark, and mysterious, Chanel Fiction nail polish is my favorite color from the Chanel holiday 2017 nail polish collection. I love the fact that it is vampy, yet green! Something about any shade of green screams Christmas to me! haha It would be fun to put a golden, glitter top coat over Fiction by Chanel. A glittering top coat would give it a festive vibe for the holidays. I like Gold Leaf by Kendra Scott.
Chanel holiday 2017 nail polish collection: Chanel Celebrity
Chanel Celebrity nail polish from the holiday 2017 nail polish collection is a vampy black polish. it has a high shine, and deep, dark black hue. This is definitely the nail polish color for the holiday season if you would like to show off your edgy style by mixing things up this season. The fabulous thing about black nail polish is that is matches everything! This makes Chanel Celebrity nail polish perfect if you plan to wear differing color palettes this holiday season. It will be easy to wear without needing to worry about your nails clashing with your outfit. You really cannot go wrong with black nail polish; it’s like an avante-garde classic!
The Chanel holiday 2017 nail polish collection strays from traditional expectations of what nail color should be during the holiday season. This makes it fun, fresh, and avante-garde! I can’t wait to rock Chanel Fiction nail polish during the holiday 2017 season. It really is the perfect holiday hue for me. Chanel Celebrity nail polish will be great for when I don’t want a green hue on my nails, and want a little bit of edge. Now, about planning an exotic vacation so I can rock Chanel Scenario nail polish. . .
Which color from the Chanel nail polish holiday 2017 collection is your favorite? What do you think of these non-traditional seasonal hues?

Have you ever tried using a base mascara? This is the first time I have tried using a base mascara. My problem is, I am allergic to most of the mascara’s on the market. This has caused me to only use two mascara’s on the market which don’t burn my eyes to oblivion. Givenchy happens to be one of the two.
Since the mascaras I choose to use don’t flake, it had not occurred to me that I needed a base mascara; until now. Givenchy was kind enough to send me a sample of their fabulous Base Mascara Perfecto to test out, and review for you. It took me awhile to test it because I assumed I didn’t really need a base for my mascara; boy was I wrong!
The Givenchy Base Mascara Perfecto is so amazing! It eliminated clumping, and thickness; leaving finished eyelashes looking natural and perfect. My eye lashes look long, natural, and well, perfecto! The brush separates lashes so that they get an even amount of base, followed by mascara. This helps to give them volume without clumping, or making the lashes look artificially thick. They look amazing!
Givenchy’s Base Mascara Perfecto not only preps lashes for mascara, it coats them. The coating is natural wax which helps revitalize, and safeguard lashes with natural polymers that form a protective film on their surface. This is a game changer!
I’m so glad this is now a part of my daily beauty routine. Have you tried using a base mascara before? What did you think?
You can find the Givenchy Case Mascara Perfecto online here.
